CORPORATE Award, runner-up in his last outing, is napped to land the Brian Goodenough Robins Stakes over 595 metres at Oxford Stadium tonight.

The black dog’s run behind Meaghans Teddy was over the four- bend trip on Sunday, and with the extra yardage here he is expected to use his strong finish to good effect and give trainer Bob Hannan a popular winner.

Heat Blast, who enjoys a drop in class could be a big danger, while Nikitas Jim is expected to improve on a good qualifying run for the trip and both should be added for the forecasts.

Despite yesterday’s BAGS meeting being called off due to a frozen track, officials are confident tonight’s card will take place.

And Headofthebank (Richard Baker) and Guinness Pirate (Richard Yeates) renew rivalry in the two-bend sprint over 250m.

The former posted one of the fastest times over the trip this year with a 14.96, but Pirate held sway recently to triumph by two and a quarter lengths.

It could be close again with the former getting the nod tonight.
